My smartphone broke! Call an ambulance!

This one was sent to us by Peter. Thanks fella. Don’t forget, you can send in your tips to us right here.

To be honest we’re not totally sure if this is a marketing stunt or a real, actual service. It’s a miniature ambulance that comes to your aid (provided you’re in a city that’s covered by the service) should your phone break. The details below this video for M-lab states that it’s a service they’ve tested in Antwerp, but when you say, “tested” that could mean “we played around with a toy car for a bit”…

Nice idea, but I don’t think it would work in every city. How long before people press that emergency button just so they can steal themselves a radio-controlled car?

I’ll say the same thing I say in my head to the endless lazy people who park in disabled or parent & child spots at supermarkets. Get up off your backside and move around a bit.

If your phone breaks, stick it in the post and maybe check out the services offered by M-lab.
